Workplace Futures provides a unique opportunity to identify – and help shape - the future of FM.

This is an industry that plays a critical role in the success of virtually every private and public sector organisation.

Workplace Futures is unique. Unlike most events in this industry which simply come and go, this conference builds each year on the success of previous years. Consequently, we have a strong and loyal following, combined with new and fresh interest in each new programme.

The key message from Workplace Futures 2011 was that the industry is still failing to communicate effectively what FM is all about, what it can achieve and what it can deliver for end users. This is a big and dynamic industry, and it is also an essential business discipline. Workplace Futures 2012 will focus on the gaps we still face in understanding and recognition, asking how they can be bridged and where continued development will take us over the next five years.

2012 is predicted to be a turn-around year for FM and for the UK. But is the road going to be a smooth one? Can we head down it with confidence? What do we need to do now to ensure we are ready for success?

Government policy, availability of finance, sustainability needs, compliance requirements, emerging technology, the market landscape, the changing nature of work, corporate flexibility...there are some huge challenges shaping FM. And, of course, just as many huge opportunities. Workplace Futures 2012 will shed light on all this, with the goal of bringing clarity to the challenges and positive insights into the opportunities.

So if you’re in FM, you need to be there.
